i have fookin ice all over my car, so i thort of the bright idea to wash all the ice off with a hot towel. guess what, all the water off the towel has turned into ice again, so im back at stage one. i dont have a ice scraper, and every single panel of my car is frosted up.

this morning couldnt get any worse

^^ i heard that you can crack your screen or something doing that

ah well, i sorted it. my washer jets were frozen too, so i just grabbed one of the cd's out of my car, and used it like an ice scraper (snapping the disk in the process )

Turn engine on, heat on screens on full. Use either piece ofplastic or wood to scrape windows. Go for drive down dual carriageway, i guarantee your car will clear

I remeber last year on my old car i thought i'd be funny with the ice scraper and do viper stripes down the car.... needless to say i left two big scratches down the length of the car that were a nightmare to get out .

Yes. I seem to be in a minority for just using DeIcer. Does no-one buy it these days?

DeIcer doesn't freeze.
It certainly freezes less readily than water.
